I just checked the dates on my tires, they are all '08, either the 11th or 25th week depending on size. So not only did I get newer tires than I was expecting but they also arrived earlier than I expected. Now that's some damn fine service.

^ +1, Gill's Da Man!
Got mine installed this morning. Still need to break it in before I really let it rip. The ride comfort improved a lot over stock, small bumps are not noticeable now.

On the other hand, I hit a nail on front driver side tire last night (probably on my way to pick up the tires at UPS depot), this morning I've ZERO tire pressure on that tire, I just drive the car to the installer, ~7miles away, service streets, I don't even notice a thing. The car just drives like normal. I guess that's what you've to give up when you switch to non run flats. However, the trade off is WELL worth it (IMHO)

Crappy pictures, didn't bring my camera to work, and when I got home it's already dark.

^^^^Looks good, thanks ^^^^
if you get a chance try and take a full on picture of the rear and front so we can see how the width of the tire look. Also, how's it handle? Is the steering heavier compared to the 215 series fronts?

I had mine installed yesterday, I love the tires, I can't lay into them yet due to break in period. I hope to have the break in mileage on them by the weekend. I'll take pictures and let everyone know my thoughts on these tires.
